While I didn&#39;t grow up in Canada (my grandparents were apparently too fond of the sun to have considered going there) I can certainly relate to the bafflement we felt when they brought out the figs (and worse, the &#39;buxor&#39;) to eat and then handed us little shovels and sent us out in the snow to plant trees. Like you say, it now all makes sense. I never thought I would get excited about the mitzva of tithes you mention, but when we pick grapefruits from the tree we planted and I say the blessing, it makes me feel so connected.... Thanks for this and Tu B&#39;Shvat Sameach!<br />Ze'evhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07532827604188454837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835137512944793688.post-42512851009164052252013-01-24T21:40:04.553+02:002013-01-24T21:40:04.553+02:00Wonderful!

Thank you for reposting, so those of us who didn&#39;t have the privilege to know you back when you wrote this fine piece have a chance to appreciate it.
